shaymen Posted 23 September , 2006 Share Posted 23 September , 2006 Roger Once again a lovely piece of work. You have talent. Glyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Stewart Posted 23 September , 2006 Share Posted 23 September , 2006 Why is it I never win b*gger-all? . Still it's a lovely piece of work and nice to see. Are you one of the "Sword & Lance" lads that hold annual exhibitions of their modelling work in Darlo? Been to one or two of them in the past and there are some real talented people among them. One of my old mate's is Bob Marrion, you may be familiar with his art work in the Military Modeller. Visited him many years ago now and what a superb photographic collection he had of probably every regiment in the British Army. Any chance of you doing a Northumberland Fusilier or a Durham in the near future? Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger Posted 24 September , 2006 Author Share Posted 24 September , 2006 Graham, Although not a member of the Darlington modelling club I have been to the show in the Arts Centre a couple of times. In fact, because of my job, this years was the first one I have been at home for in years. I haven't entered any of my figures into the competition as yet but you never know maybe next time. I am familiar with Bob Marrions art and your right through Mil mod magazine. He does beautiful illustrations. I have thought about a Northumberland Fusilier or DLI figure from 50th Div. with large battle patches which were quite unique I think. My other thought was 12/13 Northumberland Fusiliers 21st Div with red helmet band and red V on the back of tunic. I don't know about near future though I have so many projects on the go and I fancy a bit of a break from khaki, perhaps a Belgian Guide c. 1914 for a change.

Terry Carter Posted 24 September , 2006 Share Posted 24 September , 2006 Is the bust a kit that is available to buy. If so where from? I would not mind having a crack at painting one of them myself. However, It will not be as good as your magnificient paintwork. Regards Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger Posted 24 September , 2006 Author Share Posted 24 September , 2006 Cheers Terry. The bust was sculpted by a chap called David Ridley, an ex RN submariner who now lives in Oz. It costs somewhere around the £20 mark. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
